Saturday morning spent sharing about China, and learning about other countries, at the High School with all the Girl Scout troops in our city.
As you can see, Anna not only looked beautiful and proud in her Chinese silk, she loved sharing about China!
We used her chop as the stamp for the "passports" the girls carried around and marked. The girls all had fun stamping it onto all the passports that passed by our display. Anna was generous in sharing it with her friends to use to readily and happily!
We included information and examples from our China travels. It was so fun to have many people who have also been to China come talk to us about their experiences, too! {This won't load properly, so you get it upside down!}
Here the sweet girls are in all their silk-clad glory!
It was a special day for Anna, and she was so pleased at the end of it all. I really had fun doing it with her.
During the snack time, which was hosted by the oldest troop, some of the girls shared information about their country. The girls who did Somalia, shared a traditional dance with us and they were all wearing clothing typical of a girl in Somalia. The woman dancing with them was a beautiful Somali woman and she had on a blue silk dress with the symbols from their nation's flag embroidered on it. Her headdress was also a sparkling blue. She was really lovely to watch. Another troop shared their facts about Egypt, which is especially timely, not only because of all that is happening there politically right now but also because the King Tut exhibit just opened at the Science Museum. I confess, Anna's eyes glazed over a bit on the ride home while I droned excitedly on about Egypt's political landscape. She was more interested in talking about the spanakopita we ate for snack that represented Greece.
